Wraps vision–language–action policies into executable skills that are runtime-validated, executed as bounded low-level action chunks, outcome-verified, and logged as structured trajectories. A fixed skill interface enables swapping or adapting low-level VLA policies and provides component-level supervision for training and optional online adaptation.

Sparse MoE causal LLM that uses Mixture-of-Value Attention (MoVA) to store 36B parameters while activating ~4B per token; supports a native 524,288-token context and is released with final checkpoints, training data, and training code under open license.
Studies looping shared transformer layers in Mixture-of-Experts models under matched budgets and proposes SMELT: loop the middle half twice while matching per-token FLOPs, non-embedding parameters, and KV cache. Shows 6.8–18.0% training-FLOPs savings on the compute-optimal frontier, stronger downstream gains on code and long-context tasks.
Turns sparse per-student records into individualized simulators that both reproduce a student’s responses and update them under tutor guidance using pooled LLM pretraining followed by per-student specialization; releases StudentSimEval and reference simulators across chess, L2 writing, and math.
Generates compact keyword sets for both queries and items with LLMs and matches them directly via an inverted index. Uses supervised fine-tuning to align keyword spaces, then alternates GRPO-based reinforcement learning on query- and item-side generators to co-evolve representations and maximize retrieval F1 while staying compatible with keyword-based infrastructure.
Combines sparse verifier outcomes with dense privileged‑hindsight token scoring to learn an outcome‑calibrated, normalized distribution over complete responses for on‑policy self‑improvement. Key features: sign‑gated guidance (retain/reverse/disable per verifier advantage), profiled trajectory balance with one log‑partition per rollout group, and explicit correction against false‑positive self‑guidance.

Studies when and how an assistant should ask clarification questions before converting natural-language problem descriptions into optimization models. Introduces OR-Clarify, a benchmark for pre-formulation clarification, and InterOPT, a two-stage framework that diagnoses formulation-critical gaps and guides targeted questioning and stopping decisions.
Provides a diagnostic benchmark of 4,084 multiple-choice questions derived from longitudinal wearable time series, blood biomarkers, and demographics of 200 users to evaluate LLM reasoning on real-world wearable data. Uses 16 question types across complementary axes and a dual-grounding framework combining literature findings with population statistics.

Transforms source code into verifiable, reusable agent skills by extracting atomic operations, workflows, and recurring patterns and validating them via source-body-blind reconstruction. Produces CodeSkillBank (1,006,822 accepted records from 19,769 GitHub repos) and yields ~11.7% average downstream improvement.
Generates compositional 3D scenes as collections of individual object meshes by conditioning a single-object 3D generative prior on multi-view posed observations. Key features include anchor-aligned canonical frames, multi-view DINOv3 feature lifting with an IBR-style fusion, and LoRA adaptation to complete heavily occluded objects; includes a large UE-MeshyScene benchmark.
Trains end-to-end driving without human trajectory supervision by decoupling perception and action: DriveVFM distills multiple frozen vision foundation models into a single camera backbone, and DriveRL trains a privileged closed-loop RL teacher whose rollouts supervise a camera-only planner, yielding state-of-the-art closed-loop benchmark results.

Defines the Discovery Certification Protocol (DCP) to audit claims of discovery by AI research agents, converting claims into executable recovery and feedback tests. Specifies multi-gate certification, Core control requirements, and a deterministic offline verifier; validated in two controlled audits.
